Lee & Mark met in Santa Barbara, CA in 2003. Mark got a hold of one of Lee's demos and emailed him out of the blue. They immediately began working on songs together and, being from opposites sides of the country (Lee from Alaska, and Mark from Connecticut), they couldn't help but feel a certain amount of fate in both ending up in the same small city in Southern California with similar goals. They began throwing shows and releasing music together, honing their craft until they seemed to have it firing on all cylinders for the 2010 release of "Girls Like Me." Their self-titled project "Intuition & Equalibrum" was a long time in the making and truly embodies the best parts of both their talents. Mark & Lee never quite made it to the promised land of being full-time musicians, but they gave it their best shot and they still tinker around with music. Visit Mark's Spotify page for hours of instrumentals and beats. Lee now concentrates mostly on music content via the podcast / YouTube channel KindaNeat.
Weight Is Gone
Intuition & Equalibrum Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A deep breath, release pressure
Now the weight is gone
The weight is gone
The weight is gone
Play it day to day and fade away
After they change the song
A deep breath, release pressure
Now the weight is gone
The weight is gone
The weight is gone
Play it day to day and fade away
After they change the song
I bet you wonder why we stay procrastinating when
That shit′s American as artificial flavouring
Put some money in the game
You better pay to win
I hate it when you gotta defend everything
You say to them
I heard the best defense is a great offense
I got my bases in the place covered
From A to Zed
Been trying to separate myself from all my jaded friends
But dap 'em when I see ′em just to keep 'em motivated, man
I done seen a hundred rappers' buzz come and go
Like nerds running home
Before they lunch money stole
This year I′m eating ′til the motherfucking tummy swole
Loving how these dummies don't know I′m in their honey hole
Huh, I heard my music wasn't cool enough
How come the count at every show I throw keep moving up?
How come you ain′t getting a half of how they viewing us?
How come you switching up your sound
When we just out here doing us?
Huh?
While you didn't pay attention
I went and gathered an army with too many names to mention
Ain′t waiting on fame to set in
Stay in my cave to vent
When I exit it once a month, it's to hustle and pay the rent, yeah
I heard we got that shit you waiting on
A deep breath, release pressure
Now the weight is gone
The weight is gone
The weight is gone
Play it day to day and fade away
After they change the song
I heard we got that shit you waiting on
A deep breath, release pressure
Now the weight is gone
The weight is gone
The weight is gone
Play it day to day and fade away
After they change the song
I'm back and forth with my cigarette quitting fit
And since I can′t figure out bigger debt-cisions
Been getting rid of lingering women
Like I might be growing up, but never think to admit it
Shit, it′s funny how the time flies
And how it never quite feels like the time's right
It′s real life over rap life
And that's fine I just hit my prime
And I started back in nine-nine
Damn, ninety-nine, what the fuck?
I aged gracefully
It′s probably cause I never felt the need to play make-believe
Been honest to a fault and pace patiently
If nothing ever comes, I'm still grateful where it′s taken me
Cause even if it all just ends
I still met a couple gents that I can call best friends
But, don't get it twisted
I sit and think of the dipshitted things that I did
And get pissed and my jaw gets clenched, man
The pathway to past-tense is, "Never get it done."
I'm halfway to has-been, but yet I never was
If you waiting on a moment, it won′t ever come
Ain"t no half stepping, I′m guessing that you better run
Yeah, I heard we got that shit you waiting on
A deep breath, release pressure
Now the weight is gone
The weight is gone
The weight is gone
Mark didn't like the beat
I said, "Fuck it," and made a song
Yeah

I heard we got that shit you waiting on
We have what you've been looking for
A deep breath, release pressure
Take a breath and let go of stress
Now the weight is gone
We've overcome our burdens
The weight is gone
Our troubles are behind us
The weight is gone
We've found peace and calm
Play it day to day and fade away
Live life one day at a time and don't worry about the future
After they change the song
Don't let others dictate your path in life
I bet you wonder why we stay procrastinating when
You might be curious why we put things off
That shit′s American as artificial flavouring
Delaying things has become a norm
Put some money in the game
Invest in yourself
You better pay to win
You have to spend money to succeed
I heard the best defense is a great offense
The best way to defend yourself is to attack
I got my bases in the place covered
I am fully prepared and ready
From A to Zed
I am covered from every angle
Been trying to separate myself from all my jaded friends
I am distancing myself from negative influences
But dap 'em when I see ′em just to keep 'em motivated, man
I still encourage them despite their negativity
I done seen a hundred rappers' buzz come and go
I've seen many musicians rise and fall
Like nerds running home
They disappear quickly
Before they lunch money stole
Before they run out of money
This year I′m eating ′til the motherfucking tummy swole
I'm going to be successful this year
Loving how these dummies don't know I′m in their honey hole
I'm secretly taking advantage of them
Huh, I heard my music wasn't cool enough
People have criticized my music
How come the count at every show I throw keep moving up?
Despite the criticism, my popularity keeps increasing
How come you ain′t getting a half of how they viewing us?
Why aren't you getting the same recognition as we are?
How come you switching up your sound
Why are you changing your style
When we just out here doing us?
When we are focused on being true to ourselves
While you didn't pay attention
While you weren't looking
I went and gathered an army with too many names to mention
I've gained many allies and supporters
Ain′t waiting on fame to set in
I'm not obsessed with becoming famous
Stay in my cave to vent
I take time to reflect and recharge
When I exit it once a month, it's to hustle and pay the rent, yeah
I only leave to work hard and earn a living
I'm back and forth with my cigarette quitting fit
I struggle with quitting smoking
And since I can′t figure out bigger debt-cisions
I struggle with making financial decisions
Been getting rid of lingering women
I've been ending relationships that aren't going anywhere
Like I might be growing up, but never think to admit it
I'm maturing, but reluctant to acknowledge it
It′s funny how the time flies
Time passes quickly
And how it never quite feels like the time's right
It's natural to be unsure of timing
It′s real life over rap life
Reality is more important than music
And that's fine I just hit my prime
But I'm still at the top of my game
And I started back in nine-nine
I've been doing this for a long time
Damn, ninety-nine, what the fuck?
I can't believe it's been so long
I aged gracefully
I've aged well
It′s probably cause I never felt the need to play make-believe
I'm honest and authentic
Been honest to a fault and pace patiently
I'm always truthful and take things slow
If nothing ever comes, I'm still grateful where it′s taken me
Even if I don't become more successful, I'm happy with how far I've come
Cause even if it all just ends
Even if it falls apart
I still met a couple gents that I can call best friends
I've made some great friends along the way
But, don't get it twisted
But don't misunderstand
I sit and think of the dipshitted things that I did
I've made some foolish mistakes
And get pissed and my jaw gets clenched, man
I get upset and tense up
The pathway to past-tense is, "Never get it done."
The way to fail is to never finish anything
I'm halfway to has-been, but yet I never was
I'm not irrelevant yet, but I wasn't a superstar either
If you waiting on a moment, it won′t ever come
If you wait for the perfect moment, you'll be waiting forever
Ain't no half stepping, I′m guessing that you better run
I don't hold back, so you should be scared and run away
Mark didn't like the beat
Mark wasn't a fan of the instrumental
I said, "Fuck it," and made a song
I didn't let that stop me and made music anyways
